EVENT: Miami Police & Race 1980's:
A Miami police officer shot and killed a black man during a traffic stop at North Miami Avenue and 75th Street in the Little Haiti neighborhood. The man, Travis McNeil, 28, was unarmed and never left the driver’s seat of his rental car when he was shot once in the chest, members of his family said. Mr. McNeil was the seventh African-American man to be shot and killed by Miami police officers in eight months. A video was shot with a hand-held camera, it showed that brawny Miami police officers breaking down doors and hauling handcuffed African-American suspects off some of the city’s toughest streets. “We hunt,” one officer said in the five-and-a-half-minute clip. “I like to hunt.” The chief defended the officer who said, “I like to hunt.” “Hunting doesn’t mean you go kill people,” the chief said. “Hunting means you go out there and capture people.”

EVENT: Black Population to the South 1970's:
In the 1970's a share of black population growth occurred in the South over the past decade — the highest since 1910, before the Great Migration of blacks to the North. Atlanta, for the first time, replaced Chicago as the metro area with the largest number of African-Americans after New York. About 17 percent of blacks that moved to the South in the past decade left New York State, far more than from any other state. At the same time, blacks began leaving cities for the suburbs in large numbers, much like generations of whites before them.
Music Ms.Dianne 1960's:

EVENT: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Death 1960's:
In the 1960's almost everyone knows that the famous Martin Luther king Jr. was assassinated. In early April, 1968, King visited Memphis, Tennessee to support the local black sanitary public works union. On April 4, King was shot to death by James Earl Ray in his hotel in Memphis. This was devastating to almost the entire country because everyone lo˚ed up to him and we still do today. He is the reason that African Americans today can do the things that we couldn't do in the 1900's.
